BRACKET FOR SINKS.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 353,991, dated December7, 1886.

` Application lilerl April 19, 1886. Serial No. 199,336. (No model.)

p To @ZZ whom, it may concern:

"jei-t I atta-in in the manner which I will now proceed to describe,reference being had to the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure l isa side view showing my improved device i'or confining the ange of thesink to the bracket, Fig. 2, a transverse section showing` the sink andboth ofthe brackets; Fig. 3, a perspective view, on a larger scale, ofthe conning device detached from the bracket and sink; and Figs. 4 and5,vie\vs showing a modified form of bracket and con fining device.

A represents an ordinary kitchenesink having top anges, L a. at eachend; and B B are the opposite supporting-brackets, on the top bars, b,of which the end flanges, a a, of the sink rest, as shown in Fig. 2. Inorder to confine the flanges vertically to said top bars of thesnpportingbracket I use clamps D. which embrace the lower edges of thebars b of the brackets, and are secured to the flanges a of the sink bymeans of screws or bolts d. These confining-clamps thus provide asimpleand efficient means of confining the sink to the brackets and simplifyand cheapen the construction of said brackets, inasmuch as they renderunnecessary the formation of a double or slotted top bar on the bracket,as in devices of this class formerly manufactured.

VThe clamp D may have at the top a fiange projecting outwardly, as shownin Fig. 3, or

the flange may project inwardly, as shown in Figs. 4 and 5, the top barol' the bracket in this case being recessed, as shown, for the receptionof said ange.

I claim as my invention- The combination of the sink having end flangesand the opposite supporting-brackets, with clamps D, bolted to said endflanges of the sink and embracing the top bars of thesupportiiig-brackets, all substantially as specified.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in thepresence of two subscribing witnesses.

FITCH TAYLOR.
